How To Rebuild Your Life When You Feel Completely Broken, Lost & Hopeless | Jen Fisher

Jen Fisher is Deloitte's former first Chief Wellbeing Officer, a former lecturer at Harvard and UCLA, host of the popular WorkWell Podcast, and author of the book: Hope Is the Strategy: The Underrated Skill That Transforms Work, Leadership, and Wellbeing. Today on the show we discuss why hope isn't just wishful thinking, the three-part science-backed framework that turns it into a real strategy, how hope and hopelessness can coexist and why that's actually the key to moving through your darkest moments, the "Pollyanna trap" and why unrealistic expectations leave you worse off than when you started, why tunnel vision kills progress and how to keep moving when one door closes, the one daily action that builds momentum when life feels like it's falling apart, and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.
